On Oct. 3, 1950, three Bell Labs scientists received a patent for a "three-electrode circuit element" that would usher in the ...

In the early days, PNP bipolar transistors were common, but the bulk of circuits you see today use NPN transistors. As [Aaron Danner] points out, many people think PNP transistors are “backward” but ...

Manufacturing companies, particularly those that mass-produce electronic circuits, work pretty much around bipolar junction transistors, like PNP and NPN. However, choosing between these two BJTs can ...

The ISL73096EH is a radiation hardened ultra high frequency NPN/PNP transistor array. It contains three NPN transistors and two PNP transistors on a common substrate. The device covers all of the ...

The 2SA1010 is a PNP silicon epitaxial transistor for high-voltage, high-speed switching that features low collector saturation voltage. It has fast switching speed with 2CS2334 as a complementary ...

In a world of mosfets and hemts, it is not often you see a new pnp power transistor. Earlier this year, Diodes did just that, with some 2.5W dual pnp bipolars for switching automotive lighting – ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...

MIT engineers built a magnetic transistor from chromium sulfur bromide, promising smaller, faster electronics with built-in ...

We all know that it’s easy to get caught out by fake electronic components these days, with everything from microcontrollers to specialized ASICs being fair game. More recently, retro components that ...
